Which factors influence the Commodities Price Movements?
Selecting commodities is a challenging task amid highly volatile financial market environment. The commodity price movement depends upon the evolving fundamentals including supply and demand scenario, inventory levels, production etc. as well as macroeconomic factors such as socio-political stability, inflation, currency, and interest rate changes, etc. Besides, sentiments of the market participants including the two prominent emotions that is greed and fear also influence the commodity prices. Prices often move up and down forming repeated patterns and typically technical analysis is a way to identify these price movements.
Over the past one-year, S&P GSCI Precious Metals Index (Spot) yielded an double-digit return of 11.16% (till May 7, 2021, Source: Refinitiv, Thomson Reuters).

Trending Themes: The report aims to cover commodities that are trending while also considering the cyclical nature of certain commodities and counter-cyclical opportunities such as Gold.
Investing Edge from Long or Short Positions: Commodities are traded in spot as well as future platforms, therefore they offer a hedging tool for investors which allows them to minimize risk by entering the trade in either or both directions i.e., as a short position or as a long position.
Pre-defined Risk-Reward Scenario: Risk-Reward ratio represents the prospective reward an investor may achieve for the risks undertaken. Investors can weigh their decisions in the light of an appropriate entry-level, target prices, and a pre-defined stop loss.
